Kirk: OK OK I'll go back
Later...
Kirk: I stole the Enterprise, blew it up, and my son died, but here's Spock's body, and McCoy has his soul. Now do your resurrection thing!
T'Pau: But no Vulcan has been resurrected for ages, and then only in legend.
Kirk: ...
As I recall, when he first confronted Kirk, he didn't claim they mind meld for resurrection, it's to bring their katra back to Vulcan. I think it was only after they found out Spock's zombie body (Spock's Brain II: The Motion Picture?) did Fal Tor Pan become something Sarek considered...
Yeeeaaah.... do they go into details as to what the initial plan for the "Katra" (i think thats what they called it) was? Presumably the vulcan soul gets downloaded into the next of kin for sentimental purposes?
Vulcans make up bullshit about everything they do.
They have a ways to "preserve" katras so you can indeed interact with them even centuries after the person as died; they're not permanently stored in another person. The whole Genesis effect resurrecting Spock's body was a pleasant surprise; otherwise they just wanted to pick it up and bury it. I guess no one told Starfleet about how anal Vulcans are about leaving their dead bodies floating around the universe.
Spock's Brain II: The Motion Picture
Thank you so much for this. Truly.
Yeah, the priestess at the end says Fal Tor Pan had only been attempted in legend.
Then why did they go out of their way to get to Genesis and get Spock's body? Just to have a Vulcan funeral? Why not just take McCoy to Vulcan?
Vulcan's are just inflexible, hard core a-holes
Sarek: well I said we always mind meld near death but I never said we ALWAYS got resurrected
He was just exaggurating.
